Has anyone found anything to use instead of sour cream? It needs to be Gluten-free Casein-free and no soy

Sounds impossible doesn't it? Claire

What are you using it for? You might be able to make yogurt out of rice or almond milk that could serve it's place in some uses.

I am only gluten free - not Gluten-free Casein-free, so I don't know if their are any, but how about plain yogurt?

kevsmom--yogurt would not work, casein is the protein in dairy products, so no dairy at all.

Claire--I don't have a clue.... adding a bit of vinegar to something might give it a bit of the "sour" taste, I've heard it works for "buttermilk". Depends on what you're using it for, though. You may try e-mailing the The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network <faan@foodallergymail.org>, they've been helpful for me before.

Also, for all the GFDFSF people--has anyone figured out cream cheese? I really want to make a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, but... yeah. And do any of you know of a website/forum/anything that specifically addresses a diet free of all three of these? All the Gluten-free Casein-free sites I've seen seem heavily dependent on soy.

I think I found something you can use. It's rice sour cream, and seems to meet your dietary requirements:

I've only tried their soy cheese, which is excellent IMHO.

You may be in luck! The link I posted for the sour cream also shows cream cheese!

That is what I used before I went CF. Now it's a no no. Thanks. Claire

Rice Guy, Thanks for the link to Galaxy Foods. I've been looking for dairy substitutes that don't use soy.

Tofutti Cream Chesse - very good but it is soy so off limits for some. I drink soy milk without a problem and can eat a small amount of soy. I just have to limit the amount as well as how often I use it. By the way soy milk sours very well (vinegar may cause curdling). You can just let it sit out for a day or so or heat the oven to about 200 degrees, turn it off and leave the milk in overnight. Serves as a substitute for buttermilk which gives baked goods a lighter texture. Claire

I know this sounds crazy but have you tried making cashew sour cream. I don't have the recipe on me but I recently made it and it worked perfectly. I think I got the recipe from a dairy free or an allergy cookbook. The following web site has other nut based dairy substitutes:

I will try to remember to post the recipe for the sour cream soon.

Hmmm...

Actually, looking at the galaxy foods site again, it doesn't say casein-free, but lactose/soy/gluten free etc.

The vegan ones are casein-free, buy have soy:

Seems it's one or the other. Bummer.

I wish I had a recipe! There are some to be found on the internet if you google it, but I haven't tried making it yet, as dairy free starter can be hard to get. (Someone posted a link in response to my asking about it the other day in another thread.)

I second the idea earlier about cashew sour cream. I make "ranch dressing" from cashews all the time, and it's not the same, but it is tasty.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
